Force Autonomous Mode Check Box
The Force Autonomous Mode check box, shown in Figure 40, is used to force the current frame into autonomous (independent) mode, if none of its Tri-bus audio links are active. Normally, a frame communicates with other frames that are part of the same intercom. However, the Options page of the Intercom Configuration dialog has a new option, Force Autonomous Mode when no audio links up. If selected, the frame refuses to communicate with any other frames if none of its Tri-bus links are up, even if Ethernet communications are fine. And, once one (1) or more of its audio links are restored, the frame automatically tries to re-establish messaging links to the other frames in the cluster.
